Hello Bass Resource anglers! My name is Ryan and I live in Indiana. I recently started working with a guy that has rekindled my love of fishing and I am so excited to be back!

 

Growing up My parents bought me Bassmaster Magazine and INFisherman and I would read them front to back a dozen times. I know quite a bit about fishing but want to add more experience and get other anglers perspective on the sport. I primarily fished small farm ponds and lakes but want to branch out to larger lakes. I do not own a Boat or Kayak and would love to connect with some people willing to take a guy out sometime. Which led me to start looking into Co-Angling sometime!
 

I am currently working on upgrading some of my gear as well as getting a solid tackle base together. The goal is to have about 4-5 good combos and a backpack to fit all my gear in. This way I can pack up quickly to go on a fishing outing, or load up on someone else’s boat without invading their space too much.

 

I am very excited to be back into fishing and look forward to connecting with and learning from others! And maybe I will see some you on the water!

 

 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Welcome from a fellow hoosier. I'm 66 and still don't know what a hoosier is.

Hello Ryan and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome from Florida

Welcome aboard, Ryan!

Welcome. I'm in Indiana too. I don't have access to any good ponds but I have a boat. I might offer a seat in my boat to somebody who invited me to fish a nice pond.

 

I'm in the northwest portion of the state and I mostly fish the Tippecanoe. I love it but I had some of the best fishing of my life in a private quarry about 35 years back.

Welcome to the forum

Welcome, from CT. I've been working on upgrading all my gear this past year as well. I spend pretty much all of my downtime at work researching. I can be a bit of a research junkie. 

Welcome home! We're glad you're here.

The best explanation I got when I moved to Indiana was "A Hoosier is a hillbilly that never made it to Detroit" So that's what I go with.

The closest I would want to get to Detroit is Lake St. Clair.
